I wasn’t able to find a list that lines up the noun (Assyria) and adjective (Assyrian) forms of biblical people and places, so I made one. Download the complete list in tab-delimited format.

There are about 270 lines covering about 340 distinct word forms. The list covers all the adjective (singular) and demonym (gentilic or plural) forms that appear in the ESV Bible.

The fourth column in the file indicates whether the noun is a person, place, or something else. The category wasn’t always clear-cut, given that many place names started as people names. There wasn’t always a noun equivalent (Pharisee, for example, lacks one).

This file should assist computer programs, allowing them to map variants back onto their noun bases without having to jump through linguistic hoops.
